Re: 1933 spring shackle studs?
And some new vocabulary words...
There's a specialty tool to take out the spring shackle bolt/liners, it presses them out then presses them in. They're a press fit so getting them out without the tool that I don't have, usually means pressing the bolt out as best as possible then sawing the left over liner after threading the hacksaw blade on the saw after passing it thru the tube. Like I said, it's a real fun afternoon. Source... there are a bunch of vendors on here that stock the correct/real/oem stuff. In this case there may be newer plastic bits to refit but I am not up on them. Many opinions on spring spreaders... I use one gently and carefully on rear springs on my 35 & 36, yes.

There are several older threads that go into detail on removing and installing them.
